    Excellent Camera

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Nov 5, 2002 | 6 out of 6 found this Sony Cyber-shot DSC-S85 review helpful

    I have had Single Lens Reflex cameras for many years. This Sony is a real joy to use. I have control over all of the necessary functions in a package that feels and looks like a camera should. I tried other styles, some even more expensive than the S...ony. They just didnt feel right. The quality of the lens is excellent. It did take me a little while to get used to the delay between pressing the shutter button and the actual picture being taken. I am having a great time with this camera. I take it with me all of the time. Read more Less

    This is an absolutely awesome camera. The important aspects of this camera are: it's unbelievably user friendly, has enough megapixels to produce outstanding 8x10s, the batteries are rechargable and it's easy to transmit photos from camera to comput...er. I have recommended this camera to just about everybody I know. You don't have to be particularly tecnologically saavy to use this camera. I love it. Read more Less

    Better than I expected

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Jun 3, 2002 | 5 out of 5 found this Sony Cyber-shot DSC-S85 review helpful

    The movie-feature is actually useful; be sure you get a camera (like this one) that can send its pictures directly to a TV. This can also create uncompressed images (e.g., about 10 megabytes); a great feature if you're obsessed with quality. Has go...od MANUAL settings, which many do not. Great little lcd screen for seeing your pictures. Comes with pretty good software. It IS a little annoying how long it takes to both turn on, AND take pictures, but this may be a problem with all digital cameras. Read more Less

    Great Camera

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Jan 20, 2003 | 4 out of 4 found this Sony Cyber-shot DSC-S85 review helpful

    This is a great camera, I took some fantastic close-up shots of my grandson. So far Ive tried the movie mode, flash, and still pictures, everything comes out great. I have owned SLR camers for over 30 years and have taken some great pictures, but I a...m very impressed with this camera. Looking foward to doing more of the things its capable of doing.

    what a cam! You won't be sorry with this

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Mar 23, 2002 | 3 out of 3 found this Sony Cyber-shot DSC-S85 review helpful

    Ok, maybe it's not the smallest cam out there, but the quality of photos make this cam of of the best digi cam I have own or even have seen. Considering the immense options that this cam has, it remains relativly user friendly.

    I am very impressed with the S85

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Dec 23, 2001 | 3 out of 3 found this Sony Cyber-shot DSC-S85 review helpful

    I recently purchased the Cybershot S85. I also own the Cybershot DSC70. When using the movie mode you can use the capacity of the memory stick with the S85, if you have a 128mb memory stick, then you can record 22 minutes of movie oppossed to the 1 m...inute with the DSC 70. The picture quality is just as good, if not better than a 35mm camera. The 8X10 are very clear and the colors are detailed. I would recommend getting a sony external flash($119.00) to go along with the camera. You will need a larger capacity memory stick because the 16mb is not large enough. You can only get 8 pictures on the 16mb stick that comes with it. The S85 has 4.1 mega pixels and the DSC70 has 3.3 mega pixels. This is a great camera. Read more Less
